A Message from the President...


How’s business? As you can imagine being the owner and president of a log and cedar home company, I get asked that question a lot these days. My answer is quite simple and honest when I say, “We remain strong in an industry that is currently weak.” We are able to hold our own because we have never waivered from our fundamental goal of delivering the very best homes available. Like the strength of our homes to withstand the storms outside their walls, Beaver Mountain’s commitment to being the best and not the biggest has shielded us from “the irrational exuberance” of the housing boom and it continues to keep us safe from the current down turn in the current economy.

WHY IS NOW A GOOD TIME TO BUILD?
For those dreaming and planning their custom solid log, insulated half log or hybrid home there are many reasons why now is a good time to build.
· Mortgage interest rates are still the lowest in years
· Builders are looking for work and offer more flexibility than a few years ago.
· Property is more affordable and there’s a better selection of it
· It’s easier to get permits for building, septic, etc…
· More Eco-Friendly options than ever before (Green building, LEEDS, Super Insulated, EnergyStar, solar panels and geothermal just to name a few.)
· Material prices have been held steady for a while but will go up when the housing market turns around.
· Beaver Mountain is offering many ordering and delivery incentives.

Of course, these same reasons hold true if you’re planning a make-over of your existing home (an addition, sun porch, gazebo or pavillion, new siding, etc…) If your timeline and circumstances work out, this could be the best time to build!
We look forward to working with you!

Though it seems to counter intuition, it really is the best time to build. It's also the best time to buy stocks, but now one is, ahem, "buying" that line of logic. We'll see how things pan out. But as time progresses, I think we'll see the trend start to shift, and the log home industry, green as ever, may be able to actually make up ground in terms of housing market share compared to where it was prior to this "recession-like-condition." Great post!
